THE KNICKERBOCKER,
OR THS NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
H1 S Periodical having passed into the
JL hands ofthe undersigned, will hereafter be
issued ivith punctuality on the first of every
month, and in a style of typographical execu
tion, which it is designed shall not be surpassed
by any similar Periodical in this country. The
proprietors will use their endevors to avoid the
examples of their predecessors, in liberal prom
ises and scanty fulfilments. The work is here
after todepend, rather upon thecharacter which
it shall be able to acquire, than upon extraordi
nary announcements of the prospective excel
lence to which it is to arrive. The Editor will
receive in its subversion the constants assist
ance of his brother Wilms Gaylord of
Philadelphia; and no exertions will be left un
employed to render the work honorable to
American Periodical Literature, and accepta
ble to the public, whose patronage is only so
far solicited as it shall seem to be deserved.
The original papers—which it is designed
shall be so varied, as to form a combination of the
sol id and useful with the entertaining and agree
able—will be from literary pens of established
reputation, (both athome and abroad,) in dif
ferent cities and portions ofthe United States.
In addition to the original papers, liberal
space will be devoted, under the head of Liter
ary Notices, to brief and candid reviews of new
works, of proper distinction, with such extracts
as may De necessary ts add interest, or to
evince the justice of th<? accompanying criticism
A Monthly Compendium will also be given,
comprising, in a succinfet form, all events of
importance which may have* occurred during
, the month, with such remarks, or illustrative
comments, as they may demand. The general
intelligence of the several States—political, sta
tistical, and domestic —arranged under their
separate heads, will be embraced in this depart
ment. Brief Obituary Notices of eminent per
sons who may have deceased during the month,
will likewise be given.
The Editor’s Table will be devoted to the
familiar discussion of such local or geneal mat
ters, as could not, with propriety, be classed
! under the above named heads.
If an earnest desire to raise up a National
Periodical which. shall do honor to American
Literature —if unwearied industry and exertion
on the part of the conductors—the employment
in its pages of much of the best literary talent
ofthe country —if the beauty of execution, and
early and punctual transmission, can insure its
succe ?s.it is confidently believed that the Knick
erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor.
LEWIS GAYLORD CLARK,
CLEMENT M. EDSON.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE SUBSCRIBER, having purchased the
Southern Agriculturist from its late Editor
and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, solicits
the support of the friends of Agriculture, and of
the interests.connected with it, throughout the
Southern States. H<? has published this work
for Mr. Legare from its commencement, in the
year 1828, and he is Ihus practically acquainted
with the mode in which it should be conducted.
Its publication will be continued on the same
terms and in the same manner as heretofore,
with such improvements as his experience may
suggest.
As the Subscriber is solicitous to make this
Journal the vehicle for disseminating useful in
formation, not only with regard to established
systems of Husbandry, but also experimental
efforts in Agriculture' and Horticulture, he in
vites free and unrestrained communications
from all persons occupied in these pursuits.
Let no one imagine that solitary facts or isolated
experiments are too trivial to be communicated.
All systematic knowledge is but the aggregate
of humble particulars; and Science, in every
department, is brought to perfection, notthrough
the instrumentality' of a single extraor
dinary mind, but the contributions of particu
lars by many individuals, and generally after
the lapse of many years. Elc is desirous, there
fore, to have as many facts to record as can be
furnished ; and from the Planter, who is system
atic in his experimental labors, an account of
his failures as well as of his successful efforts,
will be acceptable. If the last are worthy of
being recorded that they may be imitated, the
first merits to be noted in order to be shunned.
The Subscriber hopes that his appeal to his
fellow-citizens ofthe South, will not be in vain.
It would be a reproach to our Planters to suffer
this Periodical to meet the fate of the Southern
Review. Os the last it may be justly said, that
it was suffered to fall, when it was not only
rearing for us a well merited fame as a literary
people, but it was also vindicating the Southern
character and Southern habits from the unjust
aspersions which have been so liberally bestow
ed upon us out of our section of country.
The “ SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST ”
in some measure supplies the place of the
Southern Review, so far as regards the circum
stances last alluded to. It serves as a Register
not only of methods of Husbandry, but also of
facts relating to our system of Slavery. The
subjects of the discipline, the treatment, the
characters of our Slaves, are fairly suited to its
pages, and constitute topics as interesting and
important as any which can engage either our
own attention or the attention of those abroad,
who feel a legitimate interest in our concerns.
The Subscriber begs leave, in conclusion, to
remark, that if he had not undertaken tocontin
ue the publication of this Periodical,- it most
probably, would have either been removed from
our city, or been suspended. Whether it will
be in his power to continue it, will depend not
only on thePcciiuwi i/'butthe Literary Contribu
tions of Southern Planters. He confidently now
leaves this matter in their hands, feeling a full
assurance that there is wanting on the part of
our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental
energies necessary to sustain the Soutnern Agri
culturist.

PROSPECTUS
OF A LITERARY FABER TO BE PUBLISHED AT RICH
MONO, VA.
BY THOMAS W. WHITE.
TO BE ENTITLED
The Southern laterary Messenger.
TO EE DEVOTED TO EVERY DEPARTMENT OF LITERA
TURE AND THE FINE ARTS.
IT is a remarable fact, that, in all the South
ern portion of our Union, there is not one
journal of a character exclusively literary.—
Not even does “ the great State” of Virginia,
with her two Universities and her three Colle
ges,furnish her quota to the literature of the day
No one of us would be willing to admit that
this results from want of literary taste, yet no (
one essays to cast oft" the reproach—for reproach
it certainly is, that a department of literature,
noiv occupying so conspicuous a station, should
with us be entirely neglected.
In the annals of the republic of letters, the
present may be distinguished as the era of “ pe
riodical literature.” This circumstance, in
truth, constitutes the literary world emphatical
ly a “republic.” Now, (as ever,) the truly emi
nent occupy the loftiest stations; but now, also,
less gifted, though equally zealous Avorshipers
ofthe “sacrw cameno!,” are not compelled “to
! hide theirdiminished heads,” in the awful pres
| ence of some Magog of literature, who inain
i tains despotic and undisputed sway over the
I realms of intellect.
We shall not discuss tly: question whether or
! not this indicates a decline of literature. It is,
| however, strongly characteristic of the age. —
Mankind are now more engaged in the secarch
I after political truth, than in mere literary ele
| gancicsand refinement. They are occupied in
I discovering their rights; in wrosing them from
i hands Avhich have so long unrighteously with
| held them, and all demonstrating the grand
I principle, that they are capable of governing
| themselves. They have just arisen from a sleep
i ofcenturiesjand, with mighty energy, they are
j bending every thing to this momentuous pur
i pose.
Literary excellence is therefore no longer the
chief standard of renown. This is not because
literary excellence has descended in the scale of
intellectual exertion, but because renown has
now a noble and a loftier incentive. Literature,
from being a queen, has condescended to be a
handmaid—the handmaid of liberty. But it is
not because literature is shorn of her dignity, or
of her splendor; but because liberty has assum
ed her thrown high above all other thrones.
On the man whose mind is purified from er
ror, and raised above prejudice, by tlip genial in
fluence of literaty pursuits, rests the task of
freeing his fellow man from the gloomy thral
dom of ignorance, to which tyranny and cupidi
ity have so long and so successfully subjected
him.
To effect this, he must not hesitate, or be dis
couraged, because he is not in the front rank: he
should rather exult in the reflection that he may
co-operate with master spirits, in the comple
tio of a noble xvork; that his labors will go a
long with their, and will aid in accomplishing
the glorious end of “redeeming, regenerating,
and disenthralling” the human race.
Such is now the “prize of the high calling” of
litterature. Such is now the distinguished pre
rogative of literay men of every rank.
The periodical press is the lever by which
the mass of society is to be urged to this great re
sult. Truth—science—literature—are no lon
ger concentrated and shut up in books from all
but the favored few. Periodical journals carry
the resuls of philosophical investion and of litter
ary research into everywalk of life. They place
them in the. hands and before the eves of the ag
riculturalist, the artizan and the laborer; and
thus invigorate and enlighten,while they refresh
their mind.
As a literary journal performs so important a
function in the present organization of society,
it behooves him who presumes to undertake such
a xvork, to bring to the undertaing a fixed deter
mination to make it worthy the rank xvhich it
ought to occupy and end which it ought to fulfil.
Such the publisher of “ The Southern Liter
ary Messenger” can with confidence assert is
the determination with which he regards the en
terprize before him.
If tallents can be commanded by money—and
if unremitting dilligence and steady persex-er
ance on his part will produce their ordinary re
sults, then may he venture to assure all those
whose regard for literature prompt them to look
upon his design with favor, that “ The Southern
Literary Messenger” will be worthy of their pa
tronage.
The Southern Literary Messenger will em
brace every subject within the range of literature
and the fine arts; and that the scope of selection
may be as wide as possible, and insure a body of
matter always interesting, the best foreign, and
all the donistic reviews and other periodicals wil’
be constantly at the disposal of the editorial de
partment.
In fine, no trouble or expense will be spared
to render the publication such a. one as an en
lightened public will take pleasure in support
ing.

BECKWITHS ANTI-DYSPB)PTI« %
PILLS.
THE ANTI-DYSPEPTIC PILLS hfcff
been successfully employed in almost
every variety of functional disorder of the Sto
mach, Bowels, Liver, and Spleen; such bs
heart burn, acid eructations, nausea, head-iche,
pain and distension ofthe stomach and bowels,
j colic, Jaundice, flatulence, habitual costiveness,
i loss of appetite, sick head-ache, &c. &c. They
; are a comfortable Aperient for females during
i pregnancy and subsequent confinement, reliev-
I ing sickness at the stomach, head-ache, heart
■ burn and many other incidental nervous after*
pions. Literary’ men, students and most other
! persons of sedentary habits, find them very con
■ venient. Those who indulge too freely in the
i pleasures of the table, find speedy relief from
| the sense of oppression and distention which
[ follows, by taking the Pilis. Those who’ aro
1 drinking Mineral waters, and particularly from
’ Southern climates, and Agne and Fever dis
‘ t ricts. will find them a valuable adjunct. Those
who are exposed to the vicissitudes ofweathcr,
’ on voyages or journeys, can take them at all
! times with perfect safety. They seldom or n®-
; ver proyiuce sickness at the stomach or griping.
I in full doses, they are a most valuable, safe and
: efficacious Anti-Bilious medicine, but contain
Mercury in no form whateiwr.
The medicine now offered to the public is a'
composition, the result of no hasty’ and imper
fect conclusion, but of much careful and scien
tific observation, by a Southern Physician ©f
established reputation and long experience; and‘
it is believed, that few articles of a popular
! character, have, in any’ country, been intro
: duced with higher claims to public confidence.
I The accompanying certificates are signed by
i gentlemen of the highest respectability, and
! known throughout this country.
Frcm Governor Iredell.
August 21st, 1834.
Dr. Beckwith’s Anti-dyspeptic Pills have
been used in my family, which is a large one,
with the most beneficial effects. A number of
my friends who have been afflicted with Dys
pepsia and other disorders ofthe stomach, have
spoken to me in strong terms of the relief
they’ experienced from this remedy. Without
the evidence I have received from others, my
intimate knowledge of the professional and
private character of Dr. Beckwith, for the last
20 years, justifies me in declaring, that he would
give no assurances of facts of his own expert*
ence, or of professional deductions, of whicn be
was not pei fectly confident, on which the public
might not safely rely,
JAS. IREDELL.
From his Honor, Henry Potter, Judge of the V.
S. Court, for the District of North Carolina.
Fayetteville, August 16. 1834.
For some ten or twelve years past, I hav«beea
in the habit of using Dr. Beckwith’s Aati-dys
peptic Pills in my family, and consider them' so
valuable a domestic medicine, that I never suf
fer my stock to be exhausted. I have useithem
with good effect in dyspeptic cases, under va
rious modifications ; and have found them effi
cacious in relieving from sick head-ache, and
from all the usual symptoms of a fonctional de*
rangement of the viscera. As an aperient,they
are excellent. I have long had the pleasur* »f
an intimate acquaintance with the inventor of
these Pills. He is a gentleman of talents, in
tegrity and worth, and he ranks high in the
science of Medicine, and the healing art. Hia
certificate, therefore, as to the properties and af
fects of the Pills mav be confided in.
